873 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

873 Hegeman Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Ismene Speliotis. Throughout its history, the building has experienced several maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster occurring in March 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding flooring, electrical, plumbing, painting, ventilation, and water leak problems. All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were issued. A September 2023 inspection resulted in several Class A and C violations for Apartment 3A, including issues with window guards, self-closing doors, and door-related problems, while Apartment 4 received a violation regarding window spring balance issues.

Older complaints from August 2021 included unsanitary conditions related to pests and plumbing concerns, all of which were closed without violations being issued. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past several years, as evidenced by bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units. Similarly, recent bedbug reporting filings (as of July 2025) indicate no current infestations or eradications. Rodent inspections conducted in 2011 and 2012 both passed, suggesting effective pest management.

The property has had periodic maintenance issues documented, including a notable 2021 complaint about an intercom system in Apartment 1L, and various repair needs identified through HPD inspections. The most recent building permit on record was issued in September 2019, though specific details about its purpose were not provided in the available data. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to various system repairs and infrastructure maintenance, with particular clusters of complaints emerging during specific periods. While most recent complaints have been resolved without resulting violations, the frequency of maintenance requests and violations across different systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, ventilation) indicates continued maintenance requirements. However, the absence of pest-related issues in recent years and the closed status of most complaints suggest that many maintenance concerns have been addressed, despite some open violations remaining on record as of the latest inspection dates.
